Diego Pavia didn't have agent for NIL, has agent for NFL
As undrafted Heisman finalist Diego Pavia continues to wait for his first NFL opportunity, we've done a little more digging on the question of whether he is indeed proceeding with the help of an agent and, if so, why he would create the impression that he's not represented. He is indeed represented. The impression that he isn't arose from the fact that someone ripped a clip from Pavia's 70-minute interview with Jon Gruden that failed to reflect the broader context of the conversation.
Said Pavia in the clip that went viral earlier this month: “ I’m representing myself . . .
. I didn’t think it was fair that someone was gonna represent me and take five to 10 percent. .
. . Ain’t nobody taking my money.
I’ll tell you that. " The clip, which was still being posted as of last night , came from a discussion with Gruden about Pavia's NIL negotiations while in college. It becomes one of the very rare occasions in which it can accurately be said that comments were "taken out of context.
